Advanced Connectivity platform for vertical segments

The Internet-of-Things market is dominated by domain-specific platforms, proprietary architectures and vertically-divided technology slots. The advanced connectivity platform for vertical segments (ACTIVE) enables crossing these divisions with a unified approach based on end-to-end components and solutions, so accelerating the market up-take.

Aim and goal

Provide an advanced connectivity platform for vertical segments (ACTIVE) to support the development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications in different vertical domains.

Challenge

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) market is in its early stages, and currently dominated by domain-specific platforms, proprietary architectures and vertically-divided technology silos. This greatly complicates the prompt and effective development of IoT applications.

Solution

The advanced connectivity platform for vertical segments (ACTIVE) addresses the Internet-of-Things (IoT) market, and enables crossing the current challenging divisions by offering a unified approach consisting of end-to-end components and solutions for the IoT. A special focus is set on connectivity, middleware, device management, security & privacy, and application programming interfaces (API).

Effect

Developers can focus their efforts on the actual IoT applications and services in different vertical segments, without having to redo the whole stack, while relying on enhanced security and device management services. This in turn reduces time-to-market and costs, and accelerates the IoT market up-take. Furthermore, it lowers the entry barrier to develop new disruptive and innovative IoT services and applications. Target markets include healthcare and wellbeing, transportation, avionics, and smart spaces.
